Grand Haven







We went to Grand Haven last week and had a blast. It was Brinlee's first experience with sand. She was covered in it from head to toe. She thought it was pretty fun, until it was time to clean it off. Tanner was a little hesitant at first, but soon warmed up to it. He was having a ball playing frisbee and splashing whoever was around. Brenton couldn't wait to jump in the water, he was in the lake before I set up our beach blanket. He is a little fish this summer and is quite proud of the fact he can swim underwater. After a few hours, we were pretty sunburned, and decided to ride the trolley and get some ice cream. Brenton ate his cone and asked for a second! He did a pretty good job eating the second as well. Tanner ended up getting two ice cream cones too, his first ended up on the ground! I forgot to mention when we first got there, we got to tour the Coast Guard Station. Brandon, the guy who works for my dad is in the reserves for the Coast Guard and was on duty that day. The boys got to tour the Coast Guard rescue boats, until the alarm went off and they had to go out on an emergency. It was pretty exciting to see the guys jump into action. Brenton thought that was all pretty cool, but when asked if he wanted to be in the Coast Guard when he grows up, he said no. He still has his heart set on being a police man/ rock star!
